Joseph Leopold Louis Marie Frédéric Chabot (born February 12, 1968) is a former Canadian ice hockey goaltender and current coach, whose NHL playing tenure included parts of five seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, and Los Angeles Kings between 1991 and 1999. His professional journey extended from 1989 until 2006, encompassing extensive periods in minor leagues as well as European clubs. Presently, he holds the position of Goaltending Coach for the Minnesota Wild.
Playing career
Chabot’s career featured participation in the International Hockey League (IHL) with teams such as the Cincinnati Cyclones and Houston Aeros, where he played a key role in securing the Aeros' 1999 Turner Cup championship. Within the NHL, he appeared for the Los Angeles Kings and was part of the roster for the Nashville Predators during their inaugural 1998–99 season. While playing for the Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League (AHL), he was honored with the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award as the league’s best goaltender in the 1993–94 season.
Remarkably, Chabot was exposed to a record five NHL Expansion Drafts (1991, 1992, 1993, 1998, and 2000), being selected three times (in 1992, 1998, and 2000), which established a league record.
Coaching career
On July 6, 2009, Chabot was named Goaltending Consultant for the Edmonton Oilers following his involvement with Hockey Canada and their national junior squad. He was dismissed from this role on November 24, 2014, with Dustin Schwartz succeeding him. Soon thereafter, Chabot joined the Minnesota Wild organization as Goaltending Development Coach and later advanced to the role of Goaltending Coach on August 26, 2020.
